WE ARE RUN BY VOLUNTEERS

Café Mellemrummet would be an impossibility without the daily energy and dedication from more than 200 volunteers who make sure that every guest feels welcome and that every coffee is served with a smile. The hostel was also largely created with the help of volunteers who built the beds and decorated the walls.

Most days you can come by Café Mellemrummet and see volunteers studying, hanging out and simply using the café as a home away from home. Many of the volunteers are Danish but the café is also run by volunteers from more than 39 countries across the world.

There is always room for more members in this international, open-minded and welcoming volunteer family!

GLOBALHAGEN SUPPORTS SPECIFIC PROJECTS

Every two years all of Globalhagen’s volunteers vote to collectively decide on a project that they want Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke ActionAid Denmark to support. Currently, we are supporting Global Platform’s project in El Salvador.

Global Platform’s project is run by a team of local volunteers, who are engaging with marginalised youth all throughout the country via a re-purposed bus, to ensure that more people are reached. The travelling training unit will empower people to participate in social change and stand up for their rights, whilst also teaching them essential skills to enable them to express their ideas and take action.

Previous projects include a political engagement programme in Lusuka, Zambia from 2016. Volunteers constructed computer labs and a volunteer café similar to Mellemrummet.
